Chapter 133: His Ultimate Goal, To Be With Her
He never expected that he would know about her great-grandmother. Ye Luo was startled at first, then coldly said, “Have you forgotten what you told me before?”
She hadn’t forgotten. On the very first day she arrived, he had told her he never made deals with anyone.
“Are you saying I once told you I never make deals?” Gong Lü asked in return.
Hearing this, Ye Luo’s eyes turned cold. She felt he was just toying with her.
“If that’s so...” Gong Lü seemed not to notice the chill in her gaze. He chuckled softly twice before continuing slowly, “Luo Luo, it’s because it’s you that I’m willing to make an exception.”
In other words, although I never deal with others, I’m willing to make a deal with you.
Ye Luo furrowed her brow.
“A deal?” Gong Lü smiled at her.
At that moment, the phone in her pocket stopped vibrating, clearly the time was up and it had disconnected automatically.
Yet he called her number again.
Soon, her phone vibrated once more.
Ye Luo still didn’t take out her phone to answer, only asking, “How do you know about my great-grandmother?”
If he knew where her great-grandmother was, then he must know who she was.
But she, as the head of the Ye family, didn’t even know who her great-grandmother was. How could he possibly know?
Yet he didn’t seem like he was lying.
She inexplicably felt he was telling the truth and hadn’t deceived her. He really knew who and where her great-grandmother was.
Gong Lü said casually, “Do you believe me if I say I’ve seen your family genealogy?”
At those words, Ye Luo’s cold eyes suddenly narrowed in shock.
What was going on?
According to her previous reasoning, if he had seen her and knew her fully, he must have come from three hundred years in the future.
But three hundred years later, parts of her family genealogy were already missing. Her great-grandmother’s name had long been blurred by the passage of time.
She recalled that the elders at home had said that the great-grandmother’s name had become unclear over a hundred years ago.
Even if he saw the genealogy three hundred years later, it was impossible for him to know who her great-grandmother was!
Could it be that he had seen the genealogy before her great-grandmother’s name became blurred?
Had he not only come from three hundred years later but also from a time when the name was still clear? That’s why he had seen the genealogy and knew who her great-grandmother was?
The more she thought, the more confused Ye Luo became. She gave up and directly asked, “If you really won’t tell me, then why do you know all this?”
Gong Lü’s answer remained the same: “I can’t say.”
“Then what’s the point of dropping hints?”
“Now, I want you to always answer my calls in the future.” After a pause, he added, “You already know my ultimate goal. I want you to be with me.”
After another pause, he smiled and asked again, “A deal?”
He shook the phone pressed to his ear.
Her phone in her pocket kept vibrating.
Ye Luo said calmly, “In the past, when I made deals, I didn’t care who the other party was, but in the future, I will.” She paused, then added, “But with you, it’s impossible.”
She was clearly refusing to make a deal with him.
“Heh.” Gong Lü laughed softly. “My Luo Luo~”
Hearing his laughter, Ye Luo recalled the soft laugh he had let out that morning and asked, “You came to school this morning?”
“Hmm. Did you see me?”
“No.”
“Hear me?”
“Yes.”
“How much did you hear?”
Ye Luo didn’t answer, only said, “Move aside.”
Gong Lü put away his phone and took Ye Wuqi’s seat. He still looked lazy and limber, as if he had no bones, but he sat facing Ye Luo.
